Rock legends BLACK SABBATH will headline a number of
\nEurope’s premier festivals in 2012.<\/p>\n

After announcing their reunion on 11.11.11, these worldwide appearances are one of
\nthe most anticipated music events of 2012. Kicking off on Friday May 18th in Moscow at
\nOlimpski, the tour will bring BLACK SABBATH to the masses at: Download
\nFestival [UK], Azkena Rock Festival [Spain], Hellfest [France], Graspop Metal
\nMeeting [Belgium], and Gods of Metal [Italy]. However, that’s only the beginning of the
\ngroup’s global tour which will take the band around the world including countries the
\nband has never played before and others they have not visited in more than three
\ndecades.<\/p>\n

The four original members of BLACK SABBATH\u2014OZZY OSBOURNE (vocals), TONY
\nIOMMI (guitar), GEEZER BUTLER (bass) and BILL WARD (drums)\u2014are currently
\nrecording their first studio album in 33 years with legendary producer RICK
\nRUBIN (seven-time Grammy winner, two of those as Producer of the Year) for release
\nworldwide on Vertigo Records, and Vertigo\/Universal Republic Records in the US in
\nthe fall 2012.<\/p>\n

Revered music and spoken word artist, Henry Rollins<\/strong>, has said that \u201cBLACK \u00a0<\/strong>SABBATH\u2019s<\/strong> music is ultimate bone-powderizing gear. Any band worth their weight in\u00a0napalm wishes they had written \u201eWar Pigs.\u201f The critics never got it, but the fans did and\u00a0still do, and the music has not lost any thunder with time but in fact resonates more\u00a0loudly\u2026Hail the mighty Black Sabbath now and forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Music fans across Europe are in for a night of epic proportions from the Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees on this very historic return.<\/p>\n
